RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03789
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 4D be changed to 1M, 1P, or 1Q.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He cannot apply for commissioning with an RE code of 4D.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 14 October 1988 and was
progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman.
On 3 October 1998, he was released from active duty under the provisions of
AFI 36-3208 (Reduction in Force(RIF)), and was issued an RE code of 4D
(Grade is Senior Airman or Sergeant, completed at least 9 years, Total
Active Federal Military Service (TAFMS), but fewer than 16 years TAFMS, and
has not been selected for promotion to Staff Sergeant). He completed 9
years, 11 months, and 20 days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
the applicant was involuntarily discharged under RIF reasons as a result of
his failure to obtain the grade of Staff Sergeant. As such, he was given
an RE code of 4D. (Exhibit C)
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 21 March 2003 for review and response within 30 days. However, as of
this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice to warrant upgrading his RE Code. In this
respect, we note that the applicant’s discharge appears to be in compliance
with the governing Air Force Instruction in effect at the time of his
separation and that he was afforded all the rights to which entitled. The
applicant’s assigned RE code of 4D accurately reflects that at the time of
his separation he was serving in the grade of senior airman, he had at
least nine years of active military service, and that he had not been
selected for promotion to the grade of staff sergeant. The applicant
provides no evidence that his separation was inappropriate or that the
assigned RE Code is in error or unjust. There being insufficient evidence
to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the
relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was
denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be
reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not
considered with this application.

He did not serve 12 years of active duty without being promoted and should not have been forced to separate. The Board notes the applicant’s RE code is incorrect and will be administratively corrected to reflect a code of 4D “Grade is senior airman or sergeant, completed at least nine years TAFMS, but fewer than 16 years TAFMS, and has not been selected for promotion to staff sergeant.” After careful consideration of the available evidence, the Board found no indication that the actions...

On 10 Sep 03, the Board did not restore his SSgt grade but instead promoted him to senior airman effective 9 Apr 03 and waived the HYT restriction so he could be eligible for promotion consideration by the 04E5 cycle. His present reenlistment (RE) code of 4D renders him ineligible to reenlist because of HYT restrictions, i.e., he has not yet been promoted to SSgt. A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit D. HQ AFPC/DPPRR notes the applicant is not reenlistment eligible,...
